WHO: E. coli outbreak in Europe culprit is a new highly contagious strain

Posted:June 3,2011 Views:190

E. coli outbreak is the outbreak in Europe so far has caused at least 1,500 people in 9 countries of illness, including 470 kidney failure symptoms, at least 18 people were killed. According to U.S. media reports on June 2, the day of the WorldHealth Organization said this second outbreak of the 'culprit' is a previously undiscovered species, 'are more toxic and replication of' E. coli virus, which may explain why the epidemic in Europe and a wide range of great harm.
World Health Organization's food safety experts said Hilde Ze Crewe, before the discovery of the invasion of pathogenic E. coli are mainly children and the elderly, but this time the outbreak in Europe, many patients are young adults, especially women. Preliminary gene sequencing tests showed that this strain had never before been isolated from the human body, it is more than those of known toxicity and replication of E. coli are strong(http://www.f-paper.com/).
Cruze pointed out that scientists can not control the information accurate description of this new strain in the end is where you come from, but it may come from animals. 'People should think of animal origin, because many animals have a variety of pathogenic Escherichia coli. 'Earlier scientists suspect is infected by eating contaminated manure, irrigated vegetables only sick(News News http://www.f-paper.com/).
2 According to British media reports, Chinese scientists have successfully completed the European outbreak of pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli gene sequencing revealed that the bacterial system a new, highly contagious strain of toxic and resistant to some antibiotics.
The scientists from the Genomics Institute of China, which located in Shenzhen and the Shenzhen Institute of Medicine, University of Hamburg, Germany has a working relationship, after the outbreak in Europe, received the DNA samples of pathogenic bacteria, and in 3 days genetic sequencing of the bacteria.
'The E. coli is a high contagious and toxic new strain,' said the Institute's scientists, the bacteria known as EAEC 55989 with another strain of E. coli are very similar. EAEC 55989 E. coli was originally found in Central Africa, can cause severe diarrhea.
It is reported that scientists at the University of Hamburg School of Medicine found that some antibiotics, many of them to receive patients from northern Germany, there is no effect. 'Our analysis further shows that this deadly bacteria with aminoglycosides, macrocyclic lactones and β-lactam antibiotics such as number of genes, making the antibiotic treatment has become extremely difficult. '
There are also some new bacteria E. coli are known to continuity, such as the blood can cause diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome and other illnesses. In addition, although E. coli can be spread in the population, but experts say in the European there has been no large-scale outbreaks of infection.

Forensic evidence emerges that European e.coli superbug was bioengineered to produce human fatalities

(NaturalNews) Even as the veggie blame game is now under way across the EU, where a super resistant strain of e.coli is sickening patients and filling hospitals in Germany, virtually no one is talking about how e.coli could have magically become resistant to eight different classes of antibiotic drugs and then suddenly appeared in the food supply.

This particular e.coli variation is a member of theO104strain, and O104 strains are almost never (normally) resistant to antibiotics. In order for them to acquire this resistance,they must be repeatedly exposed to antibioticsin order to provide the "mutation pressure" that nudges them toward complete drug immunity.

So if you're curious about the origins of such a strain, you can essentially reverse engineer the genetic code of the e.coli and determine fairly accurately which antibiotics it was exposed to during its development. This step has now been done (see below), and when you look at the genetic decoding of this O104 strain now threatening food consumers across the EU, a fascinating picture emerges of how it must have come into existence.

The genetic code reveals the history

When scientists at Germany'sRobert Koch Institutedecoded the genetic makeup of the O104 strain, they found it to be resistant to all the following classes and combinations of antibiotics:

In addition, this O104 strain posses an ability to produce special enzymes that give it what might be called "bacteria superpowers" known technically asESBLs:

"Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes that can be produced by bacteria making them resistant to cephalosporins e.g. cefuroxime, cefotaxime and ceftazidime - which are the most widely used antibiotics in many hospitals," explains the Health Protection Agency in the UK (http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Infect...).

On top of that, this O104 strain possesses two genes --TEM-1 and CTX-M-15-- that "have been making doctors shudder since the 1990s," reportsThe Guardian(http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentis...). And why do they make doctors shudder? Because they're so deadly that many people infected with such bacteria experiencecritical organ failureand simply die.

Bioengineering a deadly superbug

So how, exactly, does a bacterial strain come into existence that's resistant toover a dozen antibiotics in eight different drug classesand features two deadly gene mutations plus ESBL enzyme capabilities?

There's really only one way this happens (and only one way) -- you have toexpose this strain of e.colito all eight classes of antibiotics drugs. Usually this isn't done at the same time, of course: You first expose it to penicillin and find the surviving colonies which are resistant to penicillin. You then take those surviving colonies and expose them to tetracycline. The surviving colonies are now resistant to both penicillin and tetracycline. You then expose them to a sulfa drug and collect the surviving colonies from that, and so on. It is a process ofgenetic selectiondone in a laboratory with a desired outcome. This is essentially how somebioweaponsare engineered by the U.S. Army in its laboratory facility in Ft. Detrick, Maryland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation...).

Although the actual process is more complicated than this, the upshot is thatcreating a strain of e.coli that's resistant to eight classes of antibioticsrequires repeated, sustained expose to those antibiotics. It is virtually impossible to imagine how this could happen all by itself in the natural world. For example, if this bacteria originated in the food (as we've been told), then where did it acquire all this antibiotic resistance given the fact thatantibiotics are not used in vegetables?

When considering the genetic evidence that now confronts us, it is difficult to imagine how this could happen "in the wild." While resistance to a single antibiotic is common, the creation of a strain of e.coli that's resistant toeight different classes of antibiotics-- in combination -- simply defies the laws ofgenetic permutation and combinationin the wild. Simply put, this superbug e.coli strain could not have been created in the wild. And that leaves only one explanation for where it really came from:the lab.

Engineered and then released into the wild

The evidence now points to this deadly strain of e.coli beingengineeredand then either being released into the food supply or somehow escaping from a lab and entering the food supply inadvertently. If you disagree with that conclusion -- and you're certainly welcome to -- then you are forced to conclude that this octobiotic superbug (immune to eight classes of antibiotics) developedrandomly on its own... and that conclusion is far scarier than the "bioengineered" explanation because it means octobiotic superbugs can simply appear anywhere at any time without cause. That would be quite an exotic theory indeed.

My conclusion actually makes more sense: This strain of e.coli was almost certainly engineered and then released into the food supplyfor a specific purpose. What would that purpose be? It's obvious, I hope.

It's allproblem, reaction, solutionat work here. First cause a PROBLEM (a deadly strain of e.coli in the food supply). Then wait for the public REACTION (huge outcry as the population is terrorized by e.coli). In response to that, enact your desired SOLUTION (total control over the global food supply and the outlawing of raw sprouts, raw milk and raw vegetables).

That's what this is all about, of course. The FDA relied on the same phenomenon in the USA when pushing for its recent "Food Safety Modernization Act" which essentially outlaws small family organic farms unless they lick the boots of FDA regulators. The FDA was able to crush farm freedom in America by piggybacking on the widespread fear that followed e.coli outbreaks in the U.S. food supply. When people are afraid, remember, it's not difficult to get them to agree to almost any level of regulatory tyranny. And making people afraid of their food is a simple matter... a few government press releases emailed to the mainstream media news affiliates is all it takes.

First ban the natural medicine, then attack the food supply

Now, remember:All this is happening on the heels of the EU ban on medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements-- a ban that blatantly outlaws nutritional therapies that help keep people healthy and free from disease. Now that all these herbs and supplements are outlawed, the next step is to make people afraid of fresh food, too. That's becausefresh vegetables are medicinal, and as long as the public has the right to buy fresh vegetables, they can always prevent disease.

But if you can make people AFRAID of fresh vegetables -- or even outlaw them altogether -- then you can force the entire population onto a diet ofdead foodsand processed foods that promote degenerative disease and bolster the profits of the powerful drug companies.

It's all part of the same agenda, you see: Keep people sick, deny them access to healing herbs and supplements, then profit from their suffering at the hands of the global drug cartels.

GMOs play a similar role in all this, of course: They're designed to contaminate the food supply with genetic code that causeswidespread infertilityamong human beings. And those who are somehow able to reproduce after exposure to GMOs still suffer from degenerative disease that enriches the drug companies from "treatment."

Do you recall which country was targeted in this recent e.coli scare? Spain. Why Spain? You may recall that leaked cables from Wikileaks revealed thatSpain resisted the introduction of GMOsinto its agricultural system, even as the U.S. government covertly threatened political retaliation for its resistance. This false blaming of Spain for the e.coli deaths is probablyretaliationfor Spain's unwillingness to jump on the GMO bandwagon. (http://www.naturalnews.com/030828_G...)

That's the real story behind the economic devastation of Spain's vegetable farmers. It's one of the subplots being pursued alongside this e.coli superbug scheme.

Food as weapons of war - created by Big Pharma?

By the way, the most likely explanation of where this strain of e.coli was bioengineered is that the drug giants came up with it in their own labs. Who else has access to all the antibiotics and equipment needed to manage the targeted mutations of potentially thousands of e.coli colonies? The drug companies are uniquely positioned to both carry out this plot and profit from it. In other words, they have the meansand the motiveto engage in precisely such actions.

Aside from the drug companies, perhaps only the infectious disease regulators themselves have this kind of laboratory capacity. The CDC, for example, could probably pull this off if they really wanted to.

The proof thatsomebodybioengineered this e.coli strain is written right in the DNA of the bacteria. That'sforensic evidence, and what it reveals cannot be denied. This strain underwent repeated and prolonged exposure to eight different classes of antibiotics, and then it somehow managed to appear in the food supply. How do you get to that if not through a well-planned scheme carried out by rogue scientists? There is no such thing as "spontaneous mutation" into a strain that is resistant to the top eight classes of brand-name antibiotic drugs being sold by Big Pharma today. Such mutations have to be deliberate.

Once again, if you disagree with this assessment, then what you're saying is that NO, it wasn't done deliberately... it happenedaccidentally!And again, I'm saying that's even scarier! Because that means the antibiotic contamination of our world is now at such an extreme level of overkill that a strain of e.coli in the wild can be saturated with eight different classes of antibiotics to the point where it naturally develops into its own deadly superbug. If that's what people believe, then that's almost a scarier theory than the bioengineering explanation!

A new era has begun: Bioweapons in your food

But in either case -- no matter what you believe -- the simple truth is that the world is now facing a new era ofglobal superbug strainsof bacteria that can't be treated with any known pharmaceutical. They can all, of course, be readily killed withcolloidal silver, which is exactly why the FDA and world health regulators have viciously attacked colloidal silver companies all these years: They can't have the public getting its hands on natural antibiotics that really work, you see. That would defeat the whole purpose of making everybody sick in the first place.

In fact, these strains of e.coli superbugs can be quite readily treated with a combination ofnatural full-spectrum antibioticsfrom plants such as garlic, ginger, onions and medicinal herbs. On top of that,probioticscan help balance the flora of the digestive tract and "crowd out" the deadly e.coli that might happen by. A healthy immune system and well-functioning digestive tract can fight off an e.coli superbug infection, but that's yet another fact the medical community doesn't want you to know. They much prefer you to remaina helpless victimlying in the hospital, waiting to die, with no options available to you. That's "modern medicine" for ya. They cause the problems that they claim to treat, and then they won't even treat you with anything that works in the first place.

Nearly all the deaths now attributable to this e.coli outbreak are easily and readily avoidable. These aredeaths of ignorance. But even more, they may also be deaths from a new era of food-based bioweapons unleashed by either a group of mad scientists or an agenda-driven institution that has declared war on the human population.

Additional developments on this e.coli outbreak

• 22 fatalities have so far been reported, with 2,153 people now sickened and possibly facing kidney failure.

• An agricultural ministry in Germany said that even though they now know the source of the outbreak is a German sprout farm, they are still not lifting their warnings for people to avoid eating tomatoes and lettuce. In other words,keep the people afraid!

Lethal fungus adds to tornado woes in Joplin, Mo.

Eight people have been confirmed to have a rare but often deadly fungal infection after the Joplin tornado, and three have died.

By Thomas H. Maugh II, Los Angeles Times

June 10, 2011, 8:25 p.m.

Some survivors of last month's massive tornado that destroyed much of Joplin, Mo., are facing another indignity: an outbreak of a rare but frequently lethal fungal infection.

Eight people have been confirmed to have the infection, known as murcomycosis, and at least three of them have died, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Health authorities fear other tornado victims may also be infected without realizing it.

"People who have wounds that are not improving should seek medical attention immediately," said Dr. Benjamin Park, a medical officer in the mycotic disease branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, which monitors outbreaks of fungal infections.

FOR THE RECORD:Fungus outbreak: In a June 11 article in Section A about a fungus outbreak in the wake of a deadly tornado in Joplin, Mo., the name of the disease mucormycosis was incorrectly spelled murcomycosis. —

Murcomycosis, traditionally known as zygomycosis, is a family of rare diseases caused by several different fungi that live in soil. The most common form occurs when fungal spores are inhaled. The organisms take root in the sinuses, then spread to the lungs and throughout the body. It typically strikes people with weakened immune systems, such as those with cancer or diabetes, or who are on immune-suppressing medications because they have had organ transplants.

The more unusual variant — which has been affecting residents of Joplin — is the cutaneous form, in which fungal spores get under the skin. Experts believe that the tornado's 200 mph winds blew contaminated dirt and debris directly into victims' skin, or that it got into open wounds caused by flying debris. Symptoms include redness or inflammation, swelling, tenderness or pain, heat in the area of the wound and fever.

Treatment for both types typically involves surgical removal of dead tissue and intravenous infusion of the antifungal medication amphotericin. An oral drug called posaconazole is also used.

The first cases were noticed by Dr. Uwe Schmidt, an infectious diseases specialist at Freeman Health System in Joplin. A week after the tornado, he and other doctors observed three patients in the intensive care unit with what looked like white, fluffy mold growing on the surface of some of their wounds. The infections continued to spread even though the doctors removed the diseased skin. But the infections slowed when amphotericin was administered.

Schmidt said he ultimately observed five cases at Freeman, out of 1,700 patients treated there after the May 22 twister.

"I was surprised," he said. "The so-called subcutaneous form of the fungus is not very common. I have never seen it myself before, and to suddenly see this cluster was quite striking."

He noted that all of the patients with the infections also suffered from severe wounds, so doctors cannot say with certainty that the three deaths were due to the fungus. "But it was probably a contributing factor in their demise," he said.

Pathologists at Freeman have confirmed the identity of the fungus in one case, and samples from all of the patients have been sent to CDC for further study.

Authorities emphasized that the infections do not spread from person to person, and that none of the cases was attributed to food, air, water or admission to a hospital.

Including the three patients whose deaths may have been related to fungal infections, a total of 151 deaths have now been linked to the tornado.
